Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "To say that I am not interested in a divine artifact would be a hypocrite. However, the two seals are in Shi Longwei's hand right now. My current strength is not enough to snatch them from him. With the Poison Valley's emergence, this is not good timing to make an enemy out of him."
"What if I told you that you don't need all the five seals to control the city?" Tang Suyin suddenly said.
The expressions of Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu immediately changed.
Yun Lintian calmed down and asked. "Can you answer me, Senior? Why would you choose me even if there's another way to control the city? Senior is not afraid that I would have an ulterior motive?"
"The Imperishable Soul possessor could see through lies, My King." Lauya's voice resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
Yun Lintian was taken aback. Thankfully, he didn't lie about anything this time.
Before Tang Suyin could reply, Shen Liqiu spoke first. "I've read about it before. The Imperishable Soul possessor has the ability to see through illusions and lies."
Tang Suyin nodded. "It's understandable that you have a lot of secrets to conceal from me. I naturally don't mind about it. Aside from that, your character overall is not bad. Having a divine beast recognize you prove that you have a good heart. Compared to Shi Longwei, I'd rather see the Ancient City falls in your hand."
Shen Liqiu rolled her eyes at Yun Lintian when she heard this… This stingy man is good? She didn't think so.

"His test?" Yun Lintian said in doubt.
"Before the incident happened, he had prepared a trial to find his successor, but he didn't have an opportunity to announce it to the world. Because I possess the Imperishable Soul, His Majesty requested me to be a judge. Hence, I know some of the trial's contents." Tang Suyin explained.
"So, Senior saying that as long as he passed the trial, he can control the city?" Shen Liqiu asked.
"Correct." Tang Suyin replied. "In fact, the five seals are connecting to each other. With the Skymist Emperor Seal as the mother, the other four seals can be recalled at any time. And you need to pass the trial to get the Skymist Emperor Seal."
Yun Lintian and Shen Liqiu were immediately enlightened. It turned out to be the case.
Shen Liqiu suddenly laughed. "Hahaha. I want to see Shi Longwei's face when the seals in his hand fly away from his pocket. It will definitely be a priceless scene."
Yun Lintian ignored Shen Liqiu's laughter and asked. "How do we enter the trial, Senior?"
"I believe Uncle Lu gave you a detailed map. You can go straight to the Skymist Clan manor and find the main hall. In there, you will see an emperor's throne. The trial will begin automatically once you touch the throne." Tang Suyin explained.
"I see." Yun Lintian cupped his fists. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Although I don't know if I can pass the trial, I will try my best."
"You should." Tang Suyin said. "I don't think there's a suitable person in this world besides you."
She turned to look at Shen Liqiu and said softly. "Of course. You can try too."
"I can?" Shen Liqiu was surprised.
"Don't question yourself. You have more than enough qualifications." Tan Suyin said gently.
Although Shen Liqiu was puzzled, she still agreed and said. "I will try, Senior."
Yun Lintian touched his chin, thinking for a moment before saying. "You stay here first. I have something to take care of, and I will return when it's done."
Shen Liqiu frowned in dissatisfaction. "What are you going to do?"
Yun Lintian didn't reply and turned to Tang Suyin. "I'll have to trouble Senior to take care of her for the time being." Afterward, he handed a storage ring to Shen Liqiu. "These resources should be enough for you to practice during this period."
Shen Liqiu unceremoniously snatched the storage ring from his hand and looked at the content inside. The corner of her mouth curved up as she said. "Sure enough. You're really rich. Even the Shen clan cannot come up with this amount casually like this… Do you want to give me more? For example, your strange movement technique."
Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly. This woman didn't only be greedy for his body but also for his money. "It's not suitable for you to practice."

Yun Lintian ignored her and stood up. His figure blurred slightly and disappeared from the spot with Linlin.
"What a movement technique." Tang Suyin couldn't help praising. "There are several instant movement techniques, but none of them could be compared to the one he used in terms of concealment and speed."
Shen Liqiu nodded in agreement. "Senior might not know this. The first time I saw him use it, I was stunned for a long while. I believe if he wants to flee, even the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm expert may not be able to catch him."
"Someone with four elements co-existing peacefully within his body like him is destined to be a great figure in the future." Tang Suyin turned to Shen Liqiu and said softly. "Your idea is not wrong. Catching him first and give birth to children."
Shen Liqiu, who had been bold all this time, suddenly flushed red in embarrassment upon hearing this.
Tang Suyin chuckled and turned to look in Yun Lintian's departing direction. No one knew what she was thinking.

After leaving the Tang clan manor, Yun Lintian rushed to the city's center at full speed. He kept avoiding the skeletons by jumping from place to place.
There were several experts at the peak of the Monarch Profound Realm among the living dead he encountered. This showed how powerful the Skymist Ancient City was in the past.
"Hmm?" After traveling for half an hour, Yun Lintian suddenly saw the early level of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm living dead standing still ahead. There was tattered armor on its body. Obviously, it was a city guard when it was alive.
As Yun Lintian was about to pass by, the living dead suddenly turned its head to look at him as though he could see him!
